Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow Coming to Virtual Console for 20th Anniversary. Childhood enhanced.

It's not a joke this time. For the 20th anniversary of their original release; Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow are finally coming to Virtual Console on 3DS. The announcement came out of tonight's Nintendo Direct and had a trailer uploaded to the official Pokémon YouTube channel.

While the selling point is in itself monumental; the fact is made all the more remarkable by the fact the games are being presented entirely in their original form, with the exception of the link cable on the Game Boy now making way for full wireless trading.

In every sense imaginable; this development will not only allow people like me to relive their favorite adventures, but also appeal to a new generation of players as well.

With this on the table, you can bet your booty that I'll be downloading these the moment they go live on 3DS Virtual Console on February 27, 2016;  20 years after the original release in Japan. Nostalgic fun: I choose you. Bang.
